Excavations in Troya

Schliemann did in Troy four big
campaigns of excavations
(1871— 1873, 1879, 1882-1883,
1889-1890). Starting with the
third, he began to involve
excavation experts. However, the
views of experts and the opinion
of Schliemann was often at odds.
Continued excavation of Troy in
1893— 1894 — Dorpfeld, a
trusted employee of the
Schliemann, and from 1932 to
1938 — Bledgenom During the
last hundred years, unearthed
ancient walls of the city began to
crumble and crack.

Only in 1988 were able to stop the
fatal process of destruction is an
international group of archaeologists,
led by German Manfred Kohmadimensional, focused on the
preservation of the ancient walls.
Since 1992, 75 scientists of different
professions from 8 countries, uniting
under the banner of the joint project
"Troy and Troas. The archaeology of
the area", continue to study the
Gissarlik hill and its environs. In
October 1995, it was discovered that
in three of them there was writing In
October 1995. I found a bronze seal
with Hittite hieroglyphs (1100 BC)
Manfred korfman concluded that Troy
is the same town that is mentioned not
only in Homer, but in the most ancient
Hittite epic.

Korfman sure that the
latest findings in
fortress's fortifications —
an undeniable proof of
the truth of the Homeric
Troyan war. One way or
another, but excavations
and research continue of
Troy. Ariadna thread of
legends leads into the
depths of history to a
new generation of
scientists.
